General Notes: Husband - Corbin Wayland Wyant

---

He received a general education in the public schools of his native community and after completing his studies there matriculated at Bucknell University. His college studies were to be interrupted when the United States entered the first World War. At that time he enlisted in the regular navy and served overseas until January 21, 1919, when he was honorably discharged. He returned home and resumed his studies at Bucknell University, from which he was graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in the class of 1929. Directly after leaving college he entered the trust department of the Armstrong County Trust Company, with which he was associated for ten years, five of which he served as trust officer. In 1930 he severed his banking connections to become general manager of the "Leader-Times,"; he acquired controlling interest in 1935. Aside from being editor of this paper, Mr. Wyant was also a member of the board of directors of the Farmers National Bank of Kittanning and the Kittanning Thrift Bank. He fraternized with Kittanning Lodge, No. 244, of the Free and Accepted Masons, in which he was also a member of the Coudersport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. He belonged to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the local post of the American Legion, was a Republican in politics and worshipped at the First Baptist Church. The paper he directed was a member of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association, and the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Its net paid daily circulation was approximately seven thousand, covering an area throughout Armstrong County.
